Sea Kayaking Holidays for 2012
Sea kayaking is a wonderful activity, great for exploring the coastline around the British Isles. We have caves, coves, cliffs, waterfalls and an abundance of wildlife including seals, dolphins and puffins all around our beautiful coastline. No kayaking experience is required for any of our courses or holidays as we will teach you all the basics first. If you have kayaked before then we will look at developing your skills for the sea environment.

   Sea Kayaking Holidays
On our 2 and 3 day courses you will learn about the equipment, how to pack your sea kayak, learn basic paddle strokes and cover rescue techniques. On the 5 Day Holidays you can simply be guided along whilst learning new paddling skills or we can incorporate other skills into the week such as route planning, tides, navigation and sea safety, if you wish.
Isle Of Skye Sea Kayaking Holidays
We will base ourselves at a self catering hostel near Glenbrittle in the southern half of the Isle of Skye. This gives us an excellent centre for paddling around this incredible area. We plan to paddle in a different area every day, such as Loch Dunvegan, Loch Bracadale or around Staffin Bay. The scenery is stunning all over with caves, arches, vertical cliffs, waterfalls, castles and an abundance of wildlife including seals, birds and the odd whale.
